Streets on the route will be closed for about 45 minutes sometime between 8:30AM and 10:15AM.
The team from the Palmetto Health Foundation will be delivering fliers to all residents and businesses along the route about a week before the event to let them know about the street closures.
The police will not close the roads until they see the runners coming, and will keep them closed for the shortest amount of time possible. If you live on any of these streets, please be aware of the race and try to plan your morning accordingly.
Having events like these go through our neighborhood gives us a great chance to show how awesome Earlewood is and how we have the best residents in the city! If you’re not sleeping late, try to go out and cheer on the runners as they pass. It could be a lot of fun!
Let us know if you have any ideas about how we can more effectively get the word out to residents when events like this one are coming to our neighborhood!
